He stopped day at Salem to visit the
Moravian settlement of Wachoyia. The
President reached home on the 10Th of
June, having travelled LOO miles in
sixty-six days with the same outfit of
horses. He wrote to Alexander Hamil-
ton that his journey had been uninter-
rupted by sickness, bad weather or acct
dents of any kind, for which he had
made an allowance of eight days delay.
On the 9th of July he was again in Phila-
delphia. He undertook no more ex-
tended journeys during his administra-
ton.
JOURNEYS OF EARLY PRESIDENTS.
John Adams made no Journeys about
the country more than was necessary to
go back and forth from Quincy to the
capital. He was the first President to
make his home in Washington. On the
journey from Baltimore to Washington
his driver lost the way, and there they
wandered for two hours through the
woods until they met colored man, who,
on Mrs. Adams persuasion, piloted them
back into the road. The journey was all
the way through dense forest. over roads
rendered sticky and slow by fall rains.
Jefferson had, while Secretary of State,
made an extended tour up the Hudson
and Lake George with James Madison.
They sailed up the Hudson in sloops and
then took horses, riding sixty miles
through the primeval wilderness, taking
taste of Saratoga water on the way.
They crossed Lake Champlain, had a
view of the White Mountains, spent Sun
day in Bennington, the laws of the State
not permitting them to travel on that
day, and crossing to Brattleboro', they
tloated down the Connecticut and re-

ceiling hangs an artistic chandelier with
cut glass globes. A glass door opens out
upon rear platform which is covered
over the full width of the car with
hinged trap-doors, under which are
the stairs descending from the car. The
windows of the parlor are curtained with
silk tapestry. The dining-room is an ex-
cellent one, located forward of the centre
of the car, extends its full width, and is
beautifully lighted and ventilated. The
upper side of the room is buffet, and
large table can be swung out into the
middle of the room, and, when not in
use, can be closed up and stored away
into a small space. This table will &C
commodate as many as ten diners. The
panels of this room are richly carved and
fitted with plate-glass mirrors, and along
each side of the room, behind these pam
els, are berths to the number of eight.
The cosiest room in the car is
the pretty bed room. 1t is a
snug little apartment, eighteen feet long
and reaches nearly across the car. At
one ends an elegant brass bedstead stand

tour. There was reunion at Fremont
of the Ohio regiment which Mr.. Hayes
commanded, and a soldiers monument.
was unveiled at Dayton. The President
visited all these places He then went to
Cincinnati and on To Nashville, Bowling
Green, Chattanooga, Knoxville and At
lanta. During a part of the journey
Wade Hampton travelled with Mr.. Hayes.
At Nashville the President laid the COR
ner-stone of the new custom-house, and
Mrs. Hayes called on the widow of Presi-
dent Polk. From Atlanta the party re-
turned to Washington, visiting Lynch
burg and Charlottesville on the way.
The entire trip had covered over 5000
miles. In September of 1880 Mr.. Hayes
went West, visiting Chicago, Milwaukee,
st. Paul and Minneapolis, and going as
far West as Bismarck, OAK, where
the President bought farm.
President Garfield promised himself a
long trip as soon as he could get rid of
the ofice-seekers that made life burden
to him and finally, through Guiteau's
insanity, caused his death. He was just
oCtoiuS Out OiI d SuOTt journey W LOLS
Branch when the assassin's deadly aim
gave him the death wound.
President Arthur travelled great deal
for his health. In 1882 he went out on
the Union Pacific with General Sheridan
and crossed overland through the Yellow
stone Park to the Northern Pacific, and
returning eastward was feature in the
grand pageant gotten up at St. Paul and
Minneapolis to celebrate the completion
of the Northern Pacific. The following
year he went to Florida to fish in the
Kissimee river, making the journey with
Secretary Chandler on the Tallapoosa.
While in Florida Mr.. Arthur was pros
trated with severe attack of illness that
for time threatened to be fatal
President Cleveland's travels since the
4th of March, 1885, have been few and
short. He has visited the Adirondacks
! twice, made wedding journey to Deer
Park and visited New York to attend the
funerals of General Grant and General
Hancock. His latest journey was on the
occasion of the recent Constitutional
Centennial in Philadelphia.

Newcastle, where they took stages to
Frenchtown, on Elk river, and there again
took steamers for Baltimore. At every
change passengers had to see to their
baggage, and it was generally necessary
TO fee the porter; checking baggage was
then unknown. There were several
lines of stages between Baltimore and
Washington, and the roads were good.
President Adams was the first President to
travel on the railroads. In 1888, during
Jackson's administration, he was in
railroad accident near Heightstown, NJ,
where two people were killed and sixteen
severely injured. The car in which Mr..
Adams rode was derailed by the burning
OF wheel and the car following over
thrown.
IN JACKsON's TIME.
Andrew Jackson made long journey
from his home in Tennessee after he was
elected President and before he was in
augurated down the Mississippi to New
Orleans, where, on the 9Th of January,
1879, he took part in the anniversary of
the battle of New Orleans. Returning to
the Hermitage, he rode in his old-fash-
Toned family coach to Washington. This
coach was his gift to his wife, Rachel,
soon after he built the mansion at Her
mitage. 1t was as heavy and unwieldy
as the old-fashioned mail coaches hung
upon leather straps. He would never
ride in any other because it had belonged
to his wife. Twice Charles, his coach
man, allowed the horses to run
away and damage the old coach. The
President had a mild suspicion that
Charles very much wanted to smash
the old vehicle and put it out of
the way. Mr.. Nicholas Trist, who was
General Jackson S private secretary, once
heard the President scolding the coach
man for a runaway accident. In the
most mild and reasoning tones the old
man said to the servant: Charlie, YOU
know how value that coach. This is
the second time it has happened, and if it
ever happens again will send you back
to Tennessee, sir" The old coach made
its first appearance in Washington in
1870, when the general expected that he
would be elected President, but John
Quincy Adams was elected instead. He
drove with four heavy bay horses, and
took month for the journey from the
Hermitage to the Potomac.
Martin Van Buren, did little travelling,
except back and forth from Kinderhook,
his country-seat on the Hudson, and trav-
eled in very quiet, transformations way
as also did James X. Polk, who made use
OF his family coach until he reached Bal
tlmore, and then he completed his jour
ney to Washington by rail.
William Henry Harrison made nota-
BILE journey coming from his home at
North Bend, o., to his inauguration. He
set out with a pair of fine old gray horses

over the Neck. The procession was
stopped for a long time while the con-
tending executive and municipal au-
thorities in their respective carriages
were quarreling as to which should do
the honors to the President For more
than an hour the aides and marshals were
galloping back and forth endeavoring to
effect reconciliation. Theskywas cloudy,
the atmosphere of this October day was
raw and sour, and during the wait
Washington took a severe cold, which
produced most uncomfortable swelling
in his eye and really prevented his visit
ing Concord and Lexington, and the local
historians say that for several days after
ward severe influenza prevailed at Bos-
ton and vicinity that was called the
Washington influenza." Finally Wash
1ngto5n became angry and declared that he
into the city. He was just on the point
of wheeling his horse to leave the con-
testants to settle their question of ETH
quette at their leisure, when an aide
rode up and hurriedly announced that
the quarrel was over, the governors
party having yielded. The selectmen
went on with the procession. Washington
rode with his hat off, bowling right and
left as he passed. When the ceremonials
were done he went to his lodgings at Mrs
IngerSolPs, fine brick house at the cor
ner of fremont and Court streets, COM
pany of light infantry commanded by
Harrison Otis being his escort, and Vice
President John Adams riding with him.
Hancock felt sore and at first decided not
to call upon Washington, but finally took
the advice of his friends and called ON
the President, and the usual civilities

to visit the State. In Providence he
stopped at the Chappoting Hotel. He
reached Boston ON horseback at noon on
July 3, and went to the Exchange Coffee
House. While in Boston the President
visited Bunker Hill, dined with John
Adams and left the city on the Sth for
Salem, where jeremiah Mason delivered
an address of greeting. Portland, Me-,
was the remotest Eastern point visited
by him, and the furthest point eastward
that had ever been visited by President
of the United States. Delegations there
met him from Bath and other Eastern
towns, urging him to make them visit,
but he was obliged to refuse and went on
New Hampshire. At the latter place he had
the pleasure of meeting the widow
of General Wheelock, who bound his
wounds when he was shot down on the
field of Trenton in 1777. On Sunday, the
9th, following, he was at Plattsburg, N.
Y. From there he visited ROuse's Point.
He also visited the furnaces at Virgens, on
Lake Champlain. He then went on by
way of Ogdensburg and Sacketts Harbor,
arriving, August g. at Fort Niagara in the
sloop Jones. While there he stopped
at the house of Judge Porter. At Black
Rock he was met by delegation of Buff
falo citizens, who escorted him into the
city, and was given quarters at Langon's
Tavern. The next day he embarked on
the schooner Porcupine, for Detroit,
where he arrived three days out. The
British officers at Hamilton intended to
salute him, but he gave them the
at Springwells. In Detroit he was
the guest of Governor Cass. The
President left Detroit on the 18th for San
dusky, accompanied by Governor Cass
and General Brown. He visited Zanes-
vile and Pittsburg ON his way home. On
the evening of September II he was
met at the District line by a
delegation of citizens and escorted
into the city. While he had

THE PRESIDENTS CAR.
Though Not Travelling in Victoria's
State He is Nicely Fixed.


The President of the United States and
Queen Victoria are the nominal rulers of
about the same number of people, but
they travel quite differently. The Queen
has twelve cars in her special train when
she sets out for the Highlands. The
Queens saloons are in the centre of the
train-the safest place; one for herself,
another for Beatrice and Battenberg, who
usually go with her, and another for the
Queens personal servants. The Queens
apartment has padded walls, to accom-
modate the possibilities of an accident.
and electric buttons command servants
on any part of the train. Gas is used,
made on the train. The royal cook goes
with the outfit, and has kitchen that
leaves little to be desired. An engine
goes ahead of the train, and when the
Queen is coming everything else gets off
the main track.
The President of the United States is in
good luck if he has as many as three
cars in his train. The private car IN
which Mr.. and Mrs Cleveland travel
on their present trip is probably one of
the finest in the United States. 1t is
eighty feet long, built of mahogany and
perfect in all its conveniences. At the
rear is reception parlor, extending the
full width of the car for a length of fifteen
feet. 1t is furnished with two reclining
chairs, four large easy chairs of
willow, and large sofa covered with
brown embossed leather. From the

man ever lived who was seen by so
many human eyes as Grant, however,
when he got out of the White House and
set off ON his journey around the world.
President Hayes was hardly installed as
his successor before he was making his
preparations. He made the tour of Eng
land, Scotland and the continent, Egypt
and the Holy Land, then returned to
Europe and went to India, China, Japan
and finally crossed the Pacific to San
Francisco. The entire journey was an
ovation. Later General Grant visited
Cuba and Mexico.
PRESIDENTS HAYES, ARTHUR AND GARFIELD
President Hayes travelled good deal,
making first his trip to the Bennington
centennial and the various NV England
cities. On this journey he rode in w. H.
Vanderbilts special car, and the great
railway magnate went with him up the
Hudson to point out places of interest
While in Vermont Mr.. Hayes visited
Mr.. Evarts at his farm near Windsor,
and spent day or two with relations of
his mother, the Burchards of Newfane.
In the fall of the same year he went to
grand soldiers reunion at Marietta, o.

slow tour across the State bv
way of Worcester, Springfield, TROY and
the central New York cities, he left on
"wednesday, the Dist, Immediately after
Legare's funeral and came to Washington
as rapidly as possible. Legare was buried
Wednesday, at Mt. Auburn, without anv
procession or parade.
PIERCE AND BUCHANAN.
Franklin Pierce took the same route
which John Ounce Adams, in his later
years, followed in reaching Washington.
He made the first seventy miles of the
journey from his home in his own car
riage, and then took the railroad. He
made no extended tours during his ad-
mlnlstratlon. 1t was on his Journey to
the capital to be inaugurated President
that his little son died, and amidst the
great honors of that week he and his
wife were bowed with grief The princi-
pal journey President Pierce made west
ward was in 1856, when he went over the
Orange and Alexandria railroad to at
tend barbecue at Culpepper Court
House, the occasion being celebration
OF the completion of the road.
President Buchanan's most notable
journey was that which brought him to
his Inauguration. He reached Washing
ton at five o'clock in the afternoon on
March 2. He left Lancaster at $50 that
morning, reached Baltimore at two
o'clock, and became the guest of Mayor
Swami. He reached Washington two
hours earlier than he was expected. and
SO avoided a great popular demonstra-
ton, and was driven at once to the
National Hotel.
PRESIDENT LINCoLN's TRAVELS.
President Lincoln made the most re-
markable journey of his life in the long,
slow trip from Springfield to Washington
in February, 1861. He came by the Michi-
gan Southern and New York Central rail-
roads, stopping at every point of any size !;
here and there making speeches, and al
ways presenting himself to crafty the
popular desire to see the new President.
He rode in one of the old-fashioned cane
seated sleeping-cars, the sumptuous mod
ern palace on wheels not then being
known. When he desired to appear be-
fore the immense crowds that gathered at
the railway stations to see him he would
step forward into the baggage car, which
made up part of his special train, and
stand at the large door in the side.
